My favourite Wear OS smartwatch, the TicWatch Pro 5, has just been given an extra reduction in Amazon’s sale.
For the fans who have been perusing our coverage of the Amazon Spring Sale over the last week, you may have noticed that one of the first deals we highlighted was a significant price cut on the excellent TicWatch Pro 5. As luck would have it, that same deal has just gotten even better.
Amazon previously discounted the wearable to just £131.74, but now the TicWatch Pro 5 is even more affordable at just £121.12. That’s an unbelievable price given that the watch originally went for £329.99 at launch. For a feature packed Wear OS watch on the cheap, you won’t find a better offer than this.
There are plenty of reasons why I adore the TicWatch Pro 5 but chief among them is the watch’s dual display. Sat on top of the 1.43-inch AMOLED screen is a low-power FSTN display that can show key bits of information like the time, your heart-rate and more, all without needing to waste power by turning on the AMOLED panel.
It’s an ingenious bit of tech, one that works brilliantly when you’re out in broad daylight, and it also helps to keep the battery going for up to five days at a time under certain conditions. That’s the kind of longevity that you’d never expect to find on the Samsung Galaxy Watch or the Pixel Watch.
You don’t even have to wait around for ages for the battery to top up either, as I was able to charge the watch from 15% to a full battery in just slightly over an hour. If you’re really strapped for time though, the watch was able to reach 79% after just 32-minutes of charging, which is more than enough to get you through to the end of the day.
As a final note, the watch also works brilliantly well when it comes to tracking your fitness, with the automatic workout tracking working particularly well, even more so than an Apple Watch that I wore at the same time during the testing period.
While there are far more options these days when it comes to Wear OS watches, you won’t find one quite as feature packed at the same going rate as the TicWatch Pro 5.
